As far as slavery is concerned, wasn't it started by one of their own that sold them to "whitey"? Funny how that gets glossed over though. At any rate, no one in this generation enslaved this generation of black people, so they need to stop trying to play the race card just to get special rights and entitements.

As far as Native Americans are concerned, I feel for their ancestors. Honestly, I do. We had no right to come here and take over, and then "graciously" give them tiny allotments of land. But that's in the past now, and it's time to move on.

Illegal immigration is illegal. Period. Just the fact they are here sucking off the system and taking jobs (don't tell me that they only do jobs that Americans won't do because that's bull) boils me. Politicians are so concerned about not offending anyone and taking care of everyone else that we are ignoring our own people, which by the way are the ones that pay taxes to support these crooked politicians. Makes me damned ashamed to call myself an American sometimes.

Correct.

Even in Suriname history it was their own that would sell the maroons out to the "owners".
